BOWMAN: On George’s Day

February 22, 2026 Jim Bowman

Today’s attitudes regard our American Constitution as an old and worn document from another age, one that is inadequate for today’s modern needs. In fact, whenever it’s cited, an explanation for its use is usually given since today’s hindsight condemns its time to that sad and dark era of slavery. We forget or even fail … Read more

SHURTLEFF: Honoring the Memory of George Washington

February 15, 2026 Hal Shurtleff

February 22, 2026, marks the 294th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, who, in this writer’s opinion, was the greatest man born in America. He is rightfully known as the “Father of His Country.” At his funeral, Major General Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee said that Washington was “first in war, first in peace and first in … Read more

Bowman: Unnecessary Intrigues

June 18, 2025 Jim Bowman

What has America gained by veering away from the Father of our Country’s practical non-interventionist course? There’s no doubt that our young nation had enough to establish itself at home rather than becoming involved with Europe’s infamous intrigue. Time mixed with Europe’s inescapable drama has confirmed George Washington’s sound judgment. Now, consider the contrast between … Read more

A New Year’s Resolution (of Political Differences)

January 3, 2025January 3, 2025 John Klar

The advent of AD 2025 promises continuing global and domestic conflicts but a hope for peace. Partisan politics and media infighting persist, while wars roil Ukraine and the Middle East. New Year’s 2025 celebrations augur the second inauguration of Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. It would be well for all Americans … Read more

America’s First Thanksgiving Proclamation Was About The Constitution — And Not Everyone Liked It

November 30, 2024 Terence P. Jeffrey

When the first Congress met at Federal Hall in New York City in 1789, there were three days in September that saw a telling sequence of events. On Thursday, Sept. 24, the House of Representatives finalized the language for what the states would later ratify as the First Amendment to the Constitution. The first part of this amendment declared: “Congress shall … Read more

State Rep “Celebrates” July 4th By Mocking George Washington

July 6, 2024 Ed Mosca

“Diversity is our strength.” Really? How are we stronger by having a condescending, sneering, potty-mouth elitist, born-with-a-silver-spoon from Bedford “representing” Manchester in the House? See below for how Jessica Where-All-The-DILFs-At Grill commemorates American independence … by mocking those “old, white males” who created the greatest system of government ever.

Complicity Galore

February 24, 2024 Jim Bowman

Beginning in 1789, America’s Constitutional form of limited governing took effect. As our new country became established, its authority was limited, as was its revenue – due to its meager tariff-based revenue – so if there was debt back then, it was minor and of brief duration.

Pulpit Polity – George Washington, Faith, and God

November 5, 2023November 5, 2023 Op-Ed

This week, I want to examine the place of prayer in perhaps the most influential American ever, George Washington. His name and character have been revered not only in America but throughout the world. Washington was perhaps the most unique political leader we have ever had in our nation.

July 18, 2023 Op-Ed

On July 18, 1774, a committee led by George Washington in Fairfax County, Virginia, voted to adopt the Fairfax Resolves condemning British actions against the colonies and calling for an embargo on British imports and exports.

America Is Worth Fighting For

March 27, 2022 Amil Imani

The naked truth is that politicians are paid agents. They do and say what gets them elected and keeps them in office. As a voter and fund contributor, you are important.

What George Washington and the Political Response to COVID19 Have In Common

June 8, 2021December 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I’m reading ‘Young Washington’ by Peter Stark. It is a history of our first President in his early twenties. George makes a lot of mistakes (didn’t we all). One of them (nearly), in 1758, follows a months-long illness he can’t shake. The reason he had so much trouble?

Attacking Washington

August 14, 2020 Percy Blakeney

Today, some of the men who founded our country are under attack. George Washington’s skill, character, and leadership were widely acknowledged by his peers. So much so the Continental Congress selected him unanimously to lead the Continental Army.

Escalation: “Protesters” Topple and Desecrate Statue of George Washington

June 19, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The left said we just don’t want contraception to be illegal, and now they call you names if you object to live both abortions. Democrats said we just want civil unions, and now you’re a bigot if you object to gay marriage. Same deal with guns and now (drumroll) knocking down statues.

George Washington High School – Murals of George Washington Offend ‘Students’

May 3, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Projecting modern “values” as an excuse to erase history is not new. Conquerors have been doing it since the dawn of man. Communists, ISIS, and other tyrants and despots perform such cleansing as a matter of policy today. ~~Democrat~~ socialists do it too. Right here in America.

September 26, 2018February 27, 2013 Skip

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very … Read more
